PancraGEN is a unique, DNA-based, integrated molecular pathology test that assesses the risk of cancer in pancreatic cysts, helping you to optimally manage each individual patient.

The Pancreatic Cyst Dilemma

Pancreatic cancer is a serious but rare condition.

Even when diagnosed early, pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis. Surgery is commonly performed as a cautious approach to treat a suspicious cyst. However surgery comes with risks, including life-long patient morbidities and even mortality.

Yet, recent research has shown that the risk of malignancy in cysts is lower than previously thought. Treatment plans are evolving from surgery to watchful waiting in recognition that many cysts are benign and will remain benign.

Recent studies have shown that up to 80% of surgeries reveal indolent cysts that didn’t necessarily require surgery.5,6

Today’s standard of care – imaging, CEA, Amylase, Cytology, and patient risk factors – does not always give you the full picture about the risk of malignancy of a pancreatic cyst.1

What if we could help better predict whether a cyst will become malignant or remain benign?
